We are equal then, because, NATO allies rebuke China and Russia over creating threats to the global order. The West has facts on it's side and the Asia rouge nations do not.

NATO was facing rebukes (click here) from Moscow and Beijing on Thursday after it declared Russia a “direct threat” and said China posed “serious challenges ” to global stability....
These are also climate refugees. A human being has to have land to live on and Central America has received some of the worst of Atlantic hurricanes. There is also a pattern that brings the storms from the Pacific, too. There have been loss of crops, mudslides and landslides.
We saw what the climate crisis did to Yellowstone Park. That is basically what is happening to Central America. These countries don't necessarily have the resources to maintain their people when these impoverished communities are devastated.
Central America doesn't get a chance to recover before their is another storm upon them. The hotter the troposphere, the worse it can get.

Washington - The Supreme Court (click here) on Thursday rejected a challenge to the Biden administration’s efforts to end a Trump-era immigration program that forces asylum seekers arriving at the southwestern border to await approval in Mexico.
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. wrote the majority opinion, joined by Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh and the court’s three liberal members. Justice Amy Coney Barrett agreed with much of the chief justice’s analysis.
The challenged program, known commonly as Remain in Mexico and formally as the Migrant Protection Protocols, applies to people who left a third country and traveled through Mexico to reach the U.S. border. After the policy was put in place at the beginning of 2019, tens of thousands of people waited in unsanitary tent encampments for immigration hearings. There have been widespread reports of sexual assault, kidnapping and torture....
There is nothing here that is malicious. All actions to combat the climate crisis is a benevolent act.
The global community needs to come up with a strategy to end the greenhouse gas emissions in the USA. The global community should minimize exporting any commodity to the USA that produces greenhouse gases. Tariffs need to be leveraged against the USA of these products. Trade restrictions for not limiting and ending greenhouse gas production by the enormous consumer base of the USA must be part of the strategy.
The idea the USA is not a leader to end a climate catastrophe is unconscionalbe. What can be done is for states in the USA can still lead. Trade relations with states of the USA can bring about change. California has very aggressive climate policies and it should not be punished by the global community. The global community should work with the states to end the pollution of greenhouse gases.

The Supreme Court on Thursday (click here) limited the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to regulate carbon emissions from power plants, dealing a blow to the Biden administration’s efforts to address climate change.
The vote was 6 to 3, with the court’s three liberal justices in dissent, saying that the majority had stripped the E.P.A. of “the power to respond to the most pressing environmental challenge of our time.”
The ruling appeared to curtail the agency’s ability to regulate the energy sector, limiting it to measures like emission controls at individual power plants and, unless Congress acts, ruling out more ambitious approaches like a cap-and-trade system at a time when experts are issuing increasingly dire warnings about the quickening pace of global warming....
